Hello all: I am a new user of XML. I need to convert XML files to R dataframes or lists. The XML files were created by SAS 8.02 XML engine with options xmltype=oimdbm xmlschema=yes to keep user-defined format and SAS datetime format. Based on Duncan Temple Lang's reply to the post by Antonio Pacheco (XML to Dataframe), there is no general way to read XML and convert it to a specific data format. Do any of you by change have a handler and an DTD or schema file for this case ready to share or can you provide me any hints to write a handler? Thanks a lot. Jennifer Shu
